Courtyard (North)

[Kaitae]

Amber Elise looked up at the sky, shaking her head. "OI! GIN! .. JUST..." she breathed in for a moment, coughing it out as a bug seemed to fly into her throat. She formed a fist in front of her face and finally settled her throat to yell, "Misunderstanding!" In not as such a loud tone, taking a few deep breaths. "Christ." she pounded her chest for a moment, confused at what had happened.  

[Lily Wong]

She stopped screaming only because she needed to breathe, which was pretty hard to do when you're forcing out all the air at once. The sound stopped and she could hear the scary man still yelling at Morvik. What did he mean, death? Morvik wasn't killing her, he was helping her find sissy. Seeing that he was still following, she closed her eyes tight in fear and began screaming again. "CAPRICE! CAAAAAAPRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE! SISSYYYYYYYY!" The sound was just about ear-splitting as the child panicked, wanting away from ginseku and his hidden weapons.

Morvik was starting to become seriously annoyed at his pursuer. He took a deep breath, then breathed out fire, trying to get the boy to leave them alone. The one and only good thing about this whole mess was that it got Layla to scream for Caprice, which had been part of his plan. And it was much better this way because there was true fear in her voice and not some happy sort of call to the girl. That would help him greatly in getting Caprice's attention. "You're friend's choking on a bug, yet you continue after me?"  

[Lily Wong]

[[And now... it gets confusing.]]

Caprice heard something and looked behind her for a second. Lazoras was following her, and she wished he hadn't. This wasn't his fight. It was hers, dag nabbit. And it had been for years and years. Stopping in a tree in the courtyard, she covered her ears at for the screams felt like they were going to burst her ear drums and she winced. Yep, that was Layla alright, no mistake about it. The twelve year-old she liked to call her younger sister. Uncovering her ears, she took out her bow and notched an arrow. "Let's see how well the bird flies with an arrow in his wing," she said in a dangerous voice. She released the arrow, watching as it zoomed towards Morvik. "PUT HER DOWN, MORVIK!" she shouted, growling as she came out further on the branch.

Layla, felt badly for the girl that was choking, but she was still scared that ginseku was going to try and kill them. And the fire Morvik let out scared her even more. "Sissy!" she screamed again, now wanting away from both of the fliers. She knew better than to trust something that could fly and was not a fairy, but she'd done it anyway, and now she was going to die for it. Tears began falling down her cheek. Seeing someone below shooting an arrow at them, she screamed only more. Why was everyone trying to kill them?

Morvik was beginning to get himself a serious headache. Sensing his bait nearby, he covered the child's mouth to muffle the sound of her ear-shattering screams, ignoring the water that began to cover his palm. Seeing an arrow, he flew to the side about a foot so that it missed them. "Ah, there's my little angel." he said with a smirk. She looked rather angry, and he rather liked it. "Come to say hello to me? I must say, it certainly took you long enough." He laughed a little as his grip on the child loosened a little, the rope sliding her down about half a foot before stopping. He sighed a little as he rolled his eyes. "You should have known that if you took too long, I'd have to resort to this sort of thing. Now, did I hear you say you wanted her down?"  

[Lily Wong]

Caprice's expression grew even more hateful than it already was when Morvik had called her his 'little angel.' And even worse, he knew it ticked her off to no end, and he continued to do so anyway. She notched another arrow as she glared at him. "You know that I would not have come to say 'hello' to you at any given point in time unless you did something like you are doing now." She growled as she froze for a moment, watching as he let the rope slide a little, then stopped it. He wasn't... he wouldn't do that, would he? He's cruel enough she thought, holding tighter onto her long-range weapon. At his final question she glare,d then released the second arrow and watched as it zoomed towards him.

Lazoras watched all this as he had bean chasing after Caprice and now noticed what was going on and the goal, he closed his wings up quickly leting the white ness of it disapere din the darkness as he droped down some before he let his wings moved out agian and he flew up at the man his eyews glowed and he new what he would have to do and he wonted to be shour he didnt mess up atall in it he started to flap his wings as hard as he possible could he pulled his sword and he sliped trow the roped that held the girl up before he arched his back and spun donw quickly and and up to her and grabed her into his aroms and he jeted off as fast as he could untill he landed behind Caprice a bit and ont he ground moreless under her and he pulled his sword agian and cut the rops off her slowly and gently making shour not to hurt her he looked to her " dopnt were, im Caprices friend " he sead and he looked up twords her and thint he man " ill make shour nothing hapins to you he sead looking to her with his ashoring eyes before he looked forword agian holding his sword in his arms leting the tip of the stwords touching the ground as he stood silently watching the man protecting  

[Lily Wong]

Layla was crying real hard at this point. The man wouldn't really drop her... would he? She didn't know. That's why mama and papa told me to never trust an angel. They're bad people! Her thoughts politely cursed out the race of fliers. This wasn't how she wanted to find Sissy. And who was that girl down there anyway? She felt so completely confused. Feeling that the rope had severed, Layla began screaming again until she was caught, and then she held on tight to the man even though he was an angel, too. She was too terrified to cared who saved her now just so long as she was saved. She was very happy to be on the ground. She held onto his waist, which she wasn't a whole lot higher than. Hearing that he was Caprice's friend, she stopped crying. "Where's Caprice? Where's my Sissy?" she asked him. It had been so long since she'd seen her that she didn't recognize that the woman in the tree was Caprice.

Morvik scowled and flew backwards, letting more of the rope loose as Caprice shot another arrow at him. "Now really, is that any way to treat me? After all these years, I would think you'd start being a little nicer to me." He'd been so distracted by the arrow that he hadn't noticed the other fallen cutting the rope and taking the child back to the ground. At least the little brat couldn't scream in his ears anymore. He scowled as he'd lost his bait. No matter, the girl seemed worked up enough at this point anyway. Slowly he adjusted the way his wings moved and he landed on the ground, keeping where he was. "Bit feisty, aren't we? If it's a fight you want so bad, then come out here and get me. I dare you."

Caprice froze for a moment as he lowered Layla even more. Morvik obviously wasn't playing around with her. Feeling a change in the air, she watched as Lazoras flew past her and set Layla free. She reached out a hand, then sighed in relief as her eyes closed as he'd caught her. It made her very nervous to see her fall. "After what you've done to my family? Get real." she said to Morvik, then hopped down off the branch as Layla nad Lazoras were on the ground, hearing her questions of her. She'd explain to Layla later, for now was too dangerous a time to talk. She slipped her key into one of Layla's hands. "If you wanna hide somewhere, take this key and go to dorm 095, okay Mums?" She kissed the child's head, so very relieved that she was okay. She stood again and turned her heated gaze onto Morvik. She growled as she left teh bow and the last arrow on the ground. "Have it your way, then." she said as she unsheated a blade from her back with narrowed eyes. She twirled it and tossed it into her left hand--and it was well-known that she was a right-handed fighter. She ran over to him, then slowed once she got within five feet of him and did a horizontal slash, waiting for his knowing response. It wasn't the first time they'd fought, after all.  

[` F o x B o y]

Lazoras had watched everything closly and watched as Caprice gave her a key like she did he turned his head and he looked to her " go and hid were Caprice told ou " he sead with a node " yes, taht was Caprice " he answered before she could even realy answer him. i have to make shour nowthing happins to her " he sead with a node watching closly as he thout some his sword on his back in its case his wings twitching just alittle and stretched his wings out far thinksome he felt realy uneasy as he stood there watching " if you stay i will protect you " he sead holding her wrist like she did his in a nice protective way. he thout some as he watched  

[Lily Wong]

"That's my.... sissy?" she said with a shaky voice. That woman was Caprice? Really? She looked so different from before. But... only Caprice ever, ever called her by the name Mums. It was their secret. Her hand closed around the key tightly as she nodded, but held on to the boy who saved her. She didn't want to leave now. Not after she'd finally found Caprice again. And if this boy was a friend of Sissy's, then she could trust him, she knew. So if that was Caprice and the person she was fighting was Morivk, that meant that Caprice was fighting her father's boss. And... it also meant that... he was that fallen from all those thousands of years ago. And... according to legend... didn't that also make him a relative of hers? Like a really big number great-grandfather of hers? But... Caprice wasn't an angel, so maybe he wasn't. She began to feel very confused by this.

"Okay, so I made your family move a lot. Big deal. I wouldn't think that's so bad." His grin faded into a cold frown as Caprice came at him. Sighing, he unsheathed a sword and blocked her blade with it. "We fight again? You're going to lose again. It's pointless, babe." He sighed and twisted his sword down, then slashed down like he was going from her head towards her shoulder, but then changed direction and went back into her body from her shoulder and in on through. Then he grinned again. "Unless you're talking about my slaughter. That I enjoyed very much. You should have heard their screams."

"You killed her! You killed her and you killed all of them!" she spat angrily. She anticipated her sword being blocked. Seeing what he was doing, a memory flashed in her mind and she ducked down, twisting as she did so and bent back, her leg kicking up at him. She got back up and slashed her blade at him a few times, not really thinking while she fought. Usually, she would, but all reason left her around this specific person. He was a sick, twisted, malicious and untrustworthy peice of flesh that haunted this poor planet without fail. He didn't deserve it, not after nearly wiping out her entire people. He needed to be gone, so he would stop hurting people.

He relized the young girl wasnt going to leave, he respected it, he wonted to watch, he understood that, and he would make shour she was fine, but he would also make shour nothing bad happined to Caprice, he new it was her fight something he shoudlnt get involved in, but he would amke shour Caprice wasnt killed he would make shour of that. he had meany chances he could have snuk up on the man meany times and killed him off easy, but it wasnt his job. he staired at her thinking some " dont let your emotions controle it Caprice " he sead lightly to himself as he griped the young girls hand lightly. he turned his head and he looked to the girl and he messed with her hair just alittle and he smiled to her trying to make shour she was going to stay calm  

[Lily Wong]

Morivk hadn't expected her to bend down and kick him, and he stumbled back, rubbing his chin. "Very nice. I see you've been training. Well then, this should be fun." He said with a laugh as he moved backwards away from her, barely avoiding it each time and the more he had to move backwards, the closer she got. "Fast too. You know, I'm not going to be able to win against you on the ground," he said with a laugh, and a malicious smirk. He could tell by watching her just how much her skills had improved, and this was when she wasn't able to do her best even. This was her just randomly acting. He wondered why she'd spent so much time honing her skills. He liked how much his killings irritated her. It was a very good thing. The closer she got to those raw emotions, the more she attatched herself to them, the more likely she was to rise. And that was his goal. "So let's see how well the little angel can fight in the air!" he grabbed her hand and flapped his wings, soaring into the air, making this duel very unfair for the opposing party.

Layla looked up at Lazoras when he gripped her hand, then blinked. He was smiling? She wondered why he'd be doing that if sissy was fighting and sissy was his friend. Maybe he knew she would win? Or perhaps he was trying to keep her from freaking out again? She looked at the ground and stood right next to him, her free hand holding onto his pant leg as her gaze then turned back to Caprice. "Eh!?" she said as she watched Morvik take her into the air. Caprice couldn't fly! Layla could, because she was a fairy, but since Caprice wasn't really her sister, they just called each other sisters, Caprice wasn't a fairy. She was human. "S..Sissy!" she called out.

Caprice grinned as she nailed a hit on him. And for the first time ever, too. "Perhaps you hadn't noticed just what kind of school this is. It's a fight school, Morvik,' she explained as she continued to go at him. Her skills had indeed improved much during her time here, and for very good reason. They'd also improved quite a bit two months before coming here, for she was able to actually fight before her arrival. Her eyebrows furrowed as he mentioned not being able to win on the ground. As he grabbed her hand and pulled her in the air, she almost screamed. She knew there was a reason why she'd avoided flying for any given resason before she met Lazoras. It was because of the s**t Morvik liked to pull. She grabbed the hand that had her wrist, dropping her blade on the ground as she tried to pry it from her wrist.  

[` F o x B o y]

He staired donw at the little girl and he smiled to thout some and he took his hand from hers " i might have to help your sissy " he sead andhe stood a few steps forword and his wins spred out and he prepared for a fast take off he pulled his sword out and he watched the women he looked to the little girl " if he comes for you, run, as fast and hard as you possible can " he sead and he looked up at the man he planed on helping caprice if he droped her he would ketch her and if it came to it he would eb her wings  

[Lily Wong]

"No!" Layla said as she ran back to him, taking his arm and trying (and failing) to pull him back. "Sissy's fight! Sissy's fight! She never wins!" the fairy-girl grunted as she dug her heels into the ground. "And if you help her she never will!" She thought that maybe that would get the point across. "Sissy.. never won before.." she said again as her grip loosened and she stepped back from him. "I want her to win..." It wasn't fair. It looked to her that Caprice actually had a chance to win this time around. Maybe, just maybe she might. "Sissy's amazing! She don't need no wings to fly mister. She can fly on her own."

"Yes, you are a feisty little thing," he repeated as he watched her try to free herself from his grasp. They were at least thirty feet in the air by now and dropping would do her any good. "Have it your way then," he said with a smirk. He threw her up in the air higher than he was, releasing his grip on her as he held out his sword face the flat side up, waiting for her to fall back down. If she was going to be stubborn, then so was he. And he was going to keep pushing it and pushing it. "Just don't die on me, my little angel. I have plans for you."

Caprice growled. "So what if I am?" Still she tried to keep pulling, then when he threw her up and let go she just about freaked out as she saw how far away the ground was. She took a breath and did a backflip, unsheathing her other blade and swing it towards him as she fell again, landing on top of his sword as it was flat and not otherwise. "You underestimate me Morvik." She smirked at this and then jumped off the sword, and flipped again as she tried to slash at him. His words were really beginning to get on her nerves and she shouted, "And for the last time, I'm not your little angel!"  

[` F o x B o y]

He didnt say anything to the young girl untill he noticed she seemed like she would be alright he slowly stood up right and he let his wings fold in and he turned his hea and he looked to the young girl " as you wish.. " he sead in a wisper closing his eyes for a moment they were more gold thin normal and they were beautiful he slowly moved to a sit there ont he ground and he staired up at thim puting his sword away and puting his hands togeter calming himself as he watched silently his eyes woudnt move off her as he thout  

[Lily Wong]

Morvik watched with narrowing eyes as she landed on his sword. He grinned a little. "So it seems I have. Or perhaps not." He moved his sword just as she jumped from it and struck it at her, only to find it clashed with hers. He laughed as she claimed falsehood to his words and he swet his wings up, pushing her even higher into the air. "Maybe not yet, but you will be. Just watch." He laughed again as he spiraled at her, doing a double horizontal cut in an 'x' as he kept a close eye on what she was doing.

The child sighed in relief as he sat down and did not fight. She didn't like fighting, in fact, she hated it. She really, really hated it. Unfortunately, fighting was one of the very few ways a person could actually get her to talk much as she was usually a very shy person. Layla was a very intelligenet girl and could configure most battle simulations accurately and put them into use for real-life situations such as this. Seeing the way Morvik and Caprice were going at each other, she knew that if Caprice's concentration broke she would fall. This man said he'd help her, that he was her friend so she did worry so much. And there were lots of trees. So long as she could jump off of something she would be fine.

"You have. And I'll prove it." She growled again as their swords clashed, and only narrowed her eyes as she was thrust even higher into the air. She had gotten over it already. It was just like working her job, except no tightropes or trapeze, and she had worked in the Kaliedo Klubbe long enough to know plenty of air-grabbing aerial stunts that she could tie in with fighting. She blocked his first cut with her sword, but his second knocked the weapon out of her hand, and a sharp pain hit her back from nowhere, causing her to wince and miss her opportunity to stay up. She grabbed a gun from that he had on him as she fell and aimed it at him, then shot twice into his wing, actually landing the target. Seeing a tree, she adjusted her trajectory, pulling the same stunt she'd done earlier that day. As she sped down, she grabbed the branch and circled around it with her hands on it a few times before she was flung towards the ground, gun still in hand. She rolled a few times before slowly standing up, laughing it seemed. She had landed rather harshly on her arm though, and was sure that she'd broken it.

Morvik screamed in pain as his wing worked frantically to keep him in the air, but he was descending quickly so he used it to help slow himself down. He hit the ground with a thud and slowly got onto his hands and knees, panting as he looked at the blood. "Wench shot me. She really, really shot me." he said his thoughts aloud. He didn't think she'd actually do there. Never, not once in all their years of knowing each other had she ever tried to get anywhere near his gun, and this time she took it and shot him down with it. He lost this time, but did so proudly. She'd do just fine. Slowly, he sat on his legs from the way he was positioned and began clapping. "Good job. I... underestimated you little angel."  

[` F o x B o y]

As she had started to fall he had pushed up to stand and staired up at her watching her slide donw the tree adn thin how she hit the ground he had took a few steps forword, and from that the young girl could tell he liked her alot more thin he showed. he stood there silently griping his hands tightly as he watched this he wonted to go to Caprices side and amke shour she was ok but he didnt he respect her 'sises' wishes. he staired at caprice before he looked to the man carfuly wondering what he would do next
